Check-Ins

We didn’t end up staying, but it looked pretty cool, just not for us. Prices were $13.50 for dorm bed, and $45 for private room. Not great for bikers because there’s a 20 minute steep hiking trail from the road to get to the hostel. You need to make a reservation ahead:

Lots of backpackers around and a beautiful view. They sold snacks and drinks at the checkin desk, and there was a sign up sheet to get dinner for $5. WIFI was really slow.

We’re pretty happy with this place! Still $27 for private room and bath. Great view, and the owner is very helpful and friendly. The kitchen is very clean with lots of pots and dishes for use. There’s a cute coffee shop nearby as well as several restaurants and a small grocery store. Shower is very cold but with good pressure. The WIFI is decent.

Sitio tranquilo para pernoctar, atrás de estación policía parqueadero público

Very quiet, no hi-jinx going on. Really nice and free. One other couple with us tonight. 3 designated spots, away from each other. There would be 4 but a dilapidated, abandoned trailer is occupying the 4th. I love the Missouri conservation areas!

The campsite is relatively basic.
Hot shower. Fast WiFi. Water and extricate at the sites.
I arrived with a bicycle and paid 1000 pesos for the night.
The road is noisy until quite late.
It's been stated that it is hard to find but it is exactly where the map shows it.
You just have to slow down and look for the sign which is about 40 metres back from the road.
Very friendly owner.

Little restaurant close to the golf and easy accès from the highway . Classic menu . Happy people.

Amazing wildcamp with impressiv sunset and night sky. Nicki, the manager of the total four sheep farms in the area wellcomed us warmly at his „camp spot“. It seemd to be a quite frequented ouverlander sleeping place. He even asked us, if we need something from the town and sugested to jump over the fence to enjoy the sunset on the dune. We had a perfectly quite and safe night there.

Great space, there is a little steep road down to the river, so watch out RV or low clearance. Many fire pits.

The only easy entrance and exit I found for tall vehicles is on the south side down a little side street..

EXCUSE THE LONG WRITE-UP:
After checking all the options in town we came here and booked a passenger balsa with the company hmnavegacao.com through an agent named Tiago. Like everything else, prices have gone WAY up since the pandemic. We paid 4500 reales in total. We have a big pickup camper. We basically went for the first class stateroom with a private balcony, on suite bathroom/shower and A/C. We also have all meals included. You can save maybe 1000 reales by not including a cabin or meals. The other balsas were full of cargo trucks, had no amenities, and much slower. 5-8 days instead of only 3 for passenger one. The cargo barges also weren’t much cheaper. They allowed us to sleep on the pier with our vehicle the first night. Then they loaded us the next day and we spent 3 nights sleeping in our cabin on the vessel. So we saved a lot of money on hotels. I would say it’s almost impossible to get on a barge at the last minute unless you’re very lucky. Plan on staying in Porto Velho for at least a few days waiting for deck space if you have have a larger vehicle. We will update after we get to Manaus.

UPDATE FROM MANAUS:
So I took a few days to process the trip before writing this review. It took 3 days almost exactly like they promised, so that was good because any longer would have been unbearable. So let’s start with the food. It was really horrible and almost inedible and they really had no set meal times. They promised us a BBQ steak lunch on Sunday. It was good meat but not nearly enough available and we left hungry still. So bring your own food and avoid getting sick. The cabin we had was with A/C that worked great. Once out on the river the breeze is refreshing so it’s not bad sleeping in your vehicle if that’s what you plan on doing. About sleeping, we didn’t do much of that. This is a working boat and as such they made many stops along the way to drop/pickup passengers and freight. Every square inch of the vessel was loaded to capacity and then some. We were so overloaded that they swamped their little dingy tied to the stern and it sank. Then we started taking waves over the bow and the bottom deck got flooded and they were forced to slow down. Some of the stops were in the middle of the night and were very noisy. There was a bar/discoteca on the roof with VERY loud music from about 10am to 10pm. Lots of bright lights so no star gazing after sunset. I don’t think the passengers in hammocks slept at all. There was tons of onion bags on board so between that and the people who didn’t shower for days, it got pretty stinky. And the showers used muddy river water so don’t plan on feeling squeaky clean, but it’s better than nothing. The scenery was nice, but there were lots of farms, houses, gold mining house boats, etc. So not really a jungle experience. Between that and the price to travel up here, you really have to ask yourself if it’s worth it. I definitely wouldn’t do it in rainy season. We are now looking at ferries to Belem..

As previously described. Spectacularly well kept gardens and paved pitches with power and braai stands. Extremely friendly host and fabulous dogs (Bones & Butch).

N$180 pppn for camping. Well worth a return visit.

stayed 2 nights alone.When I approached the drive in I was concerned about the mud but no problem getting in and out from/to the Forest road.1-2 bars of Verizon
not very reliable but a cell signal booster will get 4-5 bars.

Very nice place by the river! Beautiful view. A lot of place for vans and tents. Would recommend! Go down the road between the church and community centre.

Great spot to stop. No cell service. Locals came and stopped by till the sun went down around 10:30 or 11 then quite till morning. Definitely has leeches in the lake.

no one at the ticket booth to check my america the beautiful pass. instructions for camping was to find a spot, park, then return to the kiosk and pay for the night. it was only $8 a night, no water, pit toilet, trash drop off, caves were closed. very hot during the day I parked at the closed visitor center and sat under tree shade to cool off during the heat of the day.

Really lovely camp ground with amazing views of the mountains and near a nice stream. There are private campsites at designated sites and a larger circular campground with a bathroom. There are fire pits and a small ranch road nearby. I would highly recommend this spot!

Yummy! It's really super tasty! The service is attentive and the prices are totally okay. Pleasant atmosphere. Open from 12:30 - 16:00 and 19:30 - 00:00.

We were there and it was great fun. We were a mixed group, about 20 people, young and old, from many different countries. The atmosphere is relaxed and you can leave at any time. It's not compulsory to speak only English for an hour and then only Spanish for an hour. Great way to meet new people and learn languages.

3000 ARS for a large basket. It was ready and clean the next day.

If you’re heading north you’ll see the back of the sign and it says “skull was here”. Parking for 2 big rigs immediately as you pull off, parking further back along 2 separate short roads not big rig friendly. Very little traffic being so close to the road. None after dark. Checks the boxes

Tried getting there but it is really sandy, we got stucked and had to get helped by some neighbors. If you come here, park at the really beginning of the beach where the sand is tough. However, would clearly not recommend getting there : we met 2 neighbors and both told us it could be pretty dangerous to spend the night there as there are robberies. One of the neighbors offered us a place to park in his garden instead.

Very nice campground! USD21 if you don’t need electricity. Lots of trees, so we’re not able to use Starlink. The park is beautiful! Couldn’t find any free places to spend the night close by, so ended up in the campground.

Lots of camp sites available for our 1 night stay. Lots of big trees for shade, although was a little muddy in well worn areas (like the doorway areas at each site) after a good rain. Bathrooms clean and convenient. After hours check in easy. Lots of space to walk the dogs. We hooked up power and water. Primitive areas are big grass lot. Beautiful countryside and quick drive to main entrance to see the giant KY Horse Park.

Great spot, only 20 min drive from Edmonton. Frequently visitwd by locals, no one bothered us, beatiful trail right next to the river. We stayed for 3 nights in a row, while visiting Edmonton in daytime.

this lace is nothing special but it is good spot to stay a night on your way from Atyrou to beyneu.

coming from Atyrou take a right when you see a few buildings on your left. drive between the two little sand hills. you'll see a bit of a dip in the terrain that provides some shelter.

not completely invisible from the road but especially in the dark nobody will notice you.

there is some trash around unfortunately.

Coffee house with musical instruments for any one to sit down and play. Plenty of parking for people to spend the night in vans.

Nice Walmart in Brownsville PA. Stayed one night. Quiet at night.

We stayed here for one night! Staff is okay. There are no showers for men. The women shower is okay, not a lot of Pressure. The campground for cars is small but really nice. The lagoon itself is beautiful! Internet only works at the “restaurant”.

Ficamos 3 noites estacionado em frente as quadras de Beach tênis. Lugar seguro com posto policial, mercado, lanchonetes e restaurantes ao redor. Tem uma ducha de água fria entre a praia e as quadras e banheiro usamos dos restaurantes e do posto. Tem um ponto de energia na árvore e nos banquinhos em frente às quadras, conversamos com o Marcos que da aula lá nas quadras disse que é tranquilo ficar lá e usar a energia. Conversamos tb com os funcionários do restaurante Colher de Pau e nos deixaram encher a caixa d’água.
